Getting There
-
Car
If you're traveling by car, start from Kotor city center. Head southeast on Stari Grad Street towards the waterfront. Continue onto the M-1 road, following signs for Risan. After about 1.5 km, look for a small road to the left that leads uphill towards the viewpoint. This area is known for limited parking, so search for available spaces along the road. Once parked, follow the walking path that leads to the viewpoint. Be cautious as the path can be steep and rocky.
-
Public Transportation
For public transportation, take a local bus from Kotor's main bus station towards Risan. The buses are frequent, and the fare is about 1-2 EUR. Disembark at the Risan stop and walk back towards Kotor for about 500 meters until you see the sign for the viewpoint. There may be a small fee (around 1-2 EUR) to access certain trails leading to the viewpoint, so keep some change handy.
-
Walking
If you prefer to walk and are based in Kotor, start from the Old Town and follow the waterfront promenade. This scenic route will take you along the bay, approximately 1.5 km to the base of the viewpoint trail. From there, you can either continue walking up the path or take the shorter route leading directly uphill. This option is free but will require a good pair of walking shoes as the trail can be steep and uneven.
